Blackburn fans asking questions on twitter to Alan Nixon if there is any interest in Mowbray coming to Stoke in the summer. Nixon claims he's our type of boss. Didn't he describe our football as dross? Apparently he's out of contract this summer. Not sure I'd want him or if he'd be interested.

Seems a sideway's move in all honesty, West From, Coventry, Middlesbrough and Blackburn.
It would be like for like and would his heart be in it?
Its either Pulis or a continental manager.

His teams play decent nogger but I’d prefer a younger bloke with more modern ideas. That’s not to say it’s right but I just feel that’s the direction I’d like us to go in personally

He’s about 90 now isn’t he? 😂 He did great things for us, but we were lucky to stay up in his final season and played some mind numbingly boring football.

I couldn’t stand his moaning begrudging face on pre pr post match. Couldn’t stand him when at WBA and without the only decent player in the Blackburn side they would be bottom third. His football is as direct as Pulis and the answer from me is No, No, No

We stayed up with room to spare in his final season. TP’s time is over. He should retire in comfort until TPjr becomes our manager.

Reality is despite his achievements his football was mindnumbingly boring for the vast majority of both his tenures as our manager. We seem to have quite a knack of choosing managers who think entertainment should be sought at a circus.

The last two managers to get us out of this division were Durban and TP who played effective football. I prefer 1-0 and 0-0 and undefeated to losing 8-7 every game.

Can't believe there's anything in it. Very strange name for Nixon to thrown into his Farke article for all that.
Mowbray just seems an older version of MON - safe, nice, smart, decent, ambassadorial, maybe a bit dogmatic in his style, slightly uninspiring... but maybe with an even more grey public persona. We'd need more of a sparkplug, at least with a certain freshness, to inject some life into us as a club
Two 15ths and an 11th in their last 3 seasons - with the wheels coming off this season
You certainly can't imagine season tickets flying off the shelf if we went in that direction.
Although season ticket sales may be a lost cause if the early bird deadline passes with MON in post, which it looks like doing now.

Good for you but there’s absolutely no evidence that defensive low scoring football is successful football. Successful teams score a lot of goals and have been doing so for many years. 1-0 to the Arsenal is decades ago.

There has never been a time in the last fifteen years where I thought that Mowbray was our club’s kind of manager. Peak tippy tappy.

I prefer to win too, but I do like the idea of enjoying watching the game rather than having to justify what I’ve just sat through with “well we won, didn’t we”. Realistically, if Pulis came in and didn’t succeed, he’s spoilt a legacy. Further, there’d be no chance of seeing Bursik, DWP, Forrester, Taylor etc playing routinely for us. I certainly couldn’t see DWP in a Pulis team.

It has to be someone comfortable with playing the young players It's one argument for keeping O'Neill however there are other managers who play youth Rooney for example Farke?

No thankyou..
Just another journey man championship manager who has a striker in beresford who is having the season of his life.
He's worked on a shoestring for a number of years and has created a bottom to mid season team at best (bar a miracle of an inform beresford). How is that better than what we already have. And even with a fit Bradley dack in rovers front line they've only been mid table at best.

Of the last ten seasons, I can’t recall many teams that won promotion from the Champo by deploying these tactics. Possibly Middlesborough in 15/16 but that’s probably it.

We finished 6 points above the drop zone. I'd hardly call that 'room to spare'. We were a couple of defeats away from fucking it all up.

We seem to have quite a knack of choosing managers who think entertainment should be sought at a circus. Peak-Pulisball is the most entertaining football I've watched, and Crouch's volley from when the ball never touched the ground from Begovic's kick the best goal. I've seen mind-numbing games from all our recent managers. Pulis didn't replace the quality of Pennant and Etherington at their peak which I think was his main problem.

Midtable was very tight that year though. We were only 4 points off 9th.

Another boring, grey old Brit. If he did come to us it would have the whiff of Coates Snr. Lowest possession stats in the division and have they recently scored about 4 in 11? No thanks
Imagine if Moanbry came here and Farke ended up at Blackburn? I think that would be me just about done.
EDIT based on his comments in the past the fans would be gunning for him from the start
